Angeboten wird „Elation interconnect XLR - 1m“ von Kubala Sosna als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „XLR-Kabel (Analog)“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9588309689 endet am 10.09.2026 um 10:05 Uhr.
At €3,500, this sits above the recent used-market median of €2,517 and also above the €2,990 75th percentile, so it reads as ambitious rather than fair for a good-condition listing. Against the comparable spread, I’d want either a stronger spec, exceptional provenance, or a notably cleaner-than-average package to justify that premium.
That said, Kubala-Sosna Elation is a highly regarded cable: a big, open, very low-noise presentation with excellent transparency, grip, and tonal refinement, which is exactly why it holds value. If the listing is complete, well cared for, and can be verified as genuine with correct terminations and length, it can still be a worthwhile buy for someone chasing top-tier performance; I’d just negotiate hard unless there’s something materially special here.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Kubala-Sosna: A Premium American Cable Manufacturer
Kubala-Sosna was founded in 2002–2003 by Howard Sosna and Joe Kubala, two audio enthusiasts with deep roots in high-fidelity equipment design. Based in East Hanover, New Jersey, the company emerged from their collaborative efforts to improve cable performance in their own audio systems. This American heritage and hands-on founding philosophy established the brand's commitment to engineering excellence from its inception.
The company specializes exclusively in high-end analog, digital, speaker, and power cables—a focused product strategy that reflects their core mission. Rather than diversifying into amplifiers, speakers, or other components, Kubala-Sosna has maintained singular expertise in cable design and manufacturing. Their product lineup spans multiple price tiers, from entry-level offerings to flagship designs like the Elation series, which generated significant industry attention around 2009 and established the brand's reputation as a disruptor in premium cable manufacturing.
Kubala-Sosna occupies a distinctive position as a boutique, high-end cable specialist with considerable credibility among serious audiophiles. The brand deliberately avoids direct-to-consumer sales, instead partnering with qualified dealers to ensure proper demonstrations and customer service. Industry recognition—including praise from respected publications and audio professionals—confirms their standing as a premier manufacturer. Their emphasis on neutral tonal balance across price points and commitment to American manufacturing appeals to discerning listeners seeking transparent, uncolored signal transmission.
